5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

5ph9 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, analyze site performance, and detect fraud. The categories of cookies we use are as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Platform to function. These enable you to log in, navigate pages, and use core features. They cannot be disabled without affecting Platform functionality.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Collect anonymized data about how users interact with 5ph9, such as which pages are visited most frequently. This helps us improve the Platform experience for all Filipino players.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings, last visited game category, and display options to personalize your 5ph9 experience.
• Security Cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, account takeovers, and bot activity on the Platform.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair your ability to use the 5ph9 Platform. We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.

6. Data Security

5ph9 implements a multi-layered security framework to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security measures include:

• 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers
• AES-256 encryption for sensitive data stored at rest, including financial records and identity documents
• Password hashing using industry-standard bcrypt algorithms — your password is never stored in readable form
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) availability for all 5ph9 accounts
• Regular third-party penetration testing and security audits
• Role-based access controls limiting staff access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis

• Secure data centers with physical access controls, located within compliant jurisdictions

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, 5ph9 will notify the National Privacy Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of discovery and will notify affected individuals without undue delay, in accordance with NPC Circular 16-03.

7. Data Retention

5ph9 retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period thereafter as required by law and legitimate business needs. Specific retention periods are as follows:

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that prevents re-identification.

8. Your Rights Under Philippine Law

9. Minors and Age Restrictions

The 5ph9 Platform is strictly intended for individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, in accordance with Philippine law governing casino-style online gaming. 5ph9 does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. If we discover that a registered user is under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the account, return any remaining balance where lawfully possible, and delete all associated personal data without undue delay.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has registered on the 5ph9 Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.

10. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of our service providers and infrastructure partners may be located outside the Republic of the Philippines. In such cases, 5ph9 ensures that any transfer of personal data to a foreign country or international organization is subject to appropriate safeguards, including contractual clauses requiring the recipient to maintain data protection standards at least equivalent to those required under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, or to jurisdictions recognized by the National Privacy Commission as providing adequate protection.

We do not transfer your personal data to any jurisdiction unless we are satisfied that adequate protections are in place, and we remain accountable for the onward transfer of your data to third parties.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

5ph9 may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, the services we offer, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via a prominent notice on the 5ph9 Platform. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.

Your continued use of the 5ph9 Platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the revised Policy, you must cease using the Platform and may request account closure.
